Imagine that the IT department at your university has decided to upgrade from IP version 4 (IPv4) to IP version (IPv6).
1. Inventory the current devices on the network. Gather rough counts, manufacturers, and models of the NICs, switches, routers, and other network devices that participate on the network.
2. Research the various network devices and determine if they are already IPv6 compatible.
3. For those devices that support only IPv4, determine how much it would cost to replace the device with one that provides the same functionality but support IPv6.
4. Total the costs and organize your findings into an executive level presentation to convince management of the need (or lack thereof) to upgrade. Base your recommendation on whether the benefits of IPv6 outweigh the costs.
